and construction of the expansion of the Kealakehe Recycled Water Treatment and Distribution System, also
known as the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant R-1 Upgrade (R-1 Upgrade) project.
The initial application in fiscal year 2019 requested funding toward the planning and preliminary design
phases of work for the R-1 Upgrade project. The second application for fiscal year 2020 funds requested
additional funding toward the planning, preliminary design and design phases of work. This resolution is for
a third application for fiscal year 2021 which will request additional funding for the continued design phase of
